I enjoy a thread like this for a number of reasons. Mostly it's because I consider those that contribute to this board my friends because we share a common interest in fishing. When I read posts by others on other topics it gives me an insight to that individual's personality. Therefore I can better understand where they are coming from when making political posts.

What's happened internationally in the last year, and how it affects us locally, is a significant issue. I can't think of better people to discuss it with than friends. A friend can call me an idiot for having certain political ideals and still be welcomed on my boat any day.

For some perverse reason, I clicked on this dumass thread again - I guess to see how the mudslinging was going.

Anyway, I'm glad I did.

So you see grandpa, minds can be changed. You have come around to my way of thinking regarding participating in these BS topics.

It just took a few fish to get you to see the light.

Aw come on, it's no more meaningless than talking about baseball. Ooops, this could start a whole new argument. <img border="0" alt="[wall]" title="" src="graemlins/wall.gif" />

Actually, that's a good point, BW.

If I wanted to talk serious baseball, I'd go to a baseball BB.

If I'm looking for a quality political discussion, I don't go to a fishing BB.

Eh?


PS: Can you believe the size of that hog on the "Fishing with THE REALLY BIG ONE" thread?

Is that the one where the Dad does nothing and yells at his son the entire show?

Good show, the Dad needs to be slapped up side his head for his childish acts. laugh

My co-workers have told me about that show, but I haven't caught it yet. I don't watch much television for some reason.

I've heard about the dad on that show. Really goes balistic over everything, and the kid doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Must be a "youth" thing because my kid does the same thing.

Yeah, that's pretty amazing stuff. I read the op-ed piece by Wilson in the NY Times and find it extremely derelict that Bush would include it in his speech.

The other really funny thing is the documents Bush said the British had that supported his claims of Iraq's nukes were both from the US. One was the plagarized thesis from a grad student in California, and the other was the CIA intelligence report.

What this all really means is, there was no threat to the US. We were in no imminent danger. Not from nukes, not from chemicals, not from biological weapons. Iraq posed no threat what-so-ever. The CIA has also stated last Thursday that they concluded there was no link between Iraq and al Queda. And Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield knew it all along.

There was no reason to send our troops to war. The safety of America - our freedom - was never in jeopardy. Saddam was contained, being watched, and posed a threat to no one.

In other words, all those brave soldiers died in vain.

They didn't die for the noble cause of protecting our way of life - our freedom. They didn't die for the security of America. They died because a group of men with ill intent conjured up an image that scared the public into believing them.

And they continue to die because the arrogance of those same men refuse to acknowledge their miscalculations. They grossly underestimated the Iraqi peoples' will to be Arabs, not Americans.

The bottom line is, over 200 Americans and 6000 Iraqi civilians have died because someone lied. That is inexcusable.

Slabquest I do see some light here...I read these postings and see nothing but hatred for opposing political views....pathetic and blind hatred as if it is a cause celeb... some sort of elitist badge of honor.

I feel sorry for the haters as they march to
the same drum. I much prefer to appreciate what we have here in this country and enjoy the freedoms we have all around us every day. Cruising out into the Pacific ocean to seek out the fish we all are supposed to be here talking about I can't help but be very thankful. What a shame that this thread consumes 8 pages of rehashing the same ground trying deperately to prove a spiteful theory.

Wake up and smell the salt air my misguided friends ....

*sigh*........ Where do I start?

Quote:
I recall receiving a PM saying "KISS MY A$$ for disagreeing with MC
Just to clear the air..... I DID send a PM trying to clear up a misunderstanding and received quite a lecture and discounting of my attempt to apologize...... At THAT point I returned a PM stating that, if that was how my PM trying to smooth out the misunderstanding was going to be accepted then you could "kiss my ass" and "have a good one", if I remember correctly. I will not waste my breath trying to correct a misunderstanding I created, on someone who obviously could care less if I am sorry or not.
Search a few of my threads, and anyone will see that I have agreed with and quoted Aunty several times.... Not to mention the times I have stated that she was "right on", etc.....
I just have little patience for "debaters" that will accuse me of bigotry, racism, or "intolerance of others who disagree" from someone that can equally give a good verbal flogging (Ramon of WT is a good example.....

To ALL I may have PERSONALLY offended, I apologize here and now! I do not mean any personal attack on anyone, just because I strongly disagree with their ideals.

Can't we all just get along and go fishing???

Grandpa tell me something. Did you defend Clinton as much when he was in office? Or do you only defend the right wing.

Personally I am rather hard on both.

It is not my intention to defend anyone. When Clinton was in office I didn't spend hours searching the internet for possible dirt to try to prove some case about how bad he was. So grab your fishing rods and go fishing.
